Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
The title of this entry makes it sound like I’ve got a whole lot of catching up to do. Truthfully — nope. I caught a cold last Monday and by Tuesday I was wasted and had to cancel class, so I didn’t teach 2 Nephi 11,16. The next two days, my husband taught. My plan had been to teach a super short lesson and then show the Mountain of the…

I used this handout with 2 Nephi 9:1-26. The Atonement What does the phrase “infinite atonement” mean? His Atonement is infinite—without an end. It was also infinite in that all humankind would be saved from never-ending death. It was infinite in terms of His immense suffering. It was infinite in time, putting an end to the preceding prototype of animal sacrifice. It was infinite in scope—it was to be done…

Downloaded from: http://seminarymoments.blogspot.com/2013/10/2-nephi-1-be-man.html I showed my high school yearbook. In it the Seniors would always leave some sort of advice to the underclassmen. Before he died, Lehi gives advice to his family. He wanted them to know the Lord blesses us when we keep the commandments, and He withholds blessings when we do not keep His commandments. I showed this video clip from the Disney movie Mulan:Afterwards we discussed what…

Nephi, however, delights in the words of Isaiah! He included the writings of Isaiah so that he…

This is such a tender mercy for me as I have struggled with not being a “morning person” for most of…

I opened with a brief description of what is happening in the story to keep everyone on track….

2 Nephi 3 I took this lesson straight from the manual again with a few alterations. I drew the little stickmen on the board with the scriptures and had 4 kids come up and write who each represented. Then I erased all the stickmen except the one for Joseph Smith, and I had assigned students come up and write the things they discovered about Joseph Smith using the following verses…

This lesson was super, super easy. The manual had a group activity that worked out perfectly. I was like the others who reported back on the Facebook group — the activity went too long and bled into the following day’s lesson. I didn’t make a handout for this lesson because …. drum roll … the church already provided one! I rarely use the online lesson planner (I know — you’d…
